OKLAHOMA COUNTY, OK
The Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office reports all roads are
open after a fuel spill in near Harrah Monday afternoon.
According to the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office, a large
diesel spill around 2 p.m. shut down roads in the area of SE 15th and S. Dobbs
Road Monday.
By 3:30 p.m., all roads had been re-opened and the spill was
cleared.
Millions of gallons of diesel fuel are spilled every year from truck and other vehicle accidents, 100-200 gallons at a time.
The design of the truck fuel tanks is noticeably inadequate and unsafe resulting in unnecessary leaks, spills, explosions, fires, injuries and deaths, including environmental pollution and waste of the resources.
